Here are two more ways to enjoy the season:

Hillside’s own, Jean Sherrard takes us on another delightful afternoon of unconventional Christmas stories, poems and musical cheer in –

 Short Stories Live! Another Rogue’s Christmas

This is definitely the “antidotal” alternative to the usual holiday fare—which veers between the evocative and the humorous, all delivered by some of Seattle’s favorite professional actors. Frank Corrado, Megan Cole, Paul Dorpat, and Jean Sherrard read unconventional holiday fare. Leslie Braly and John Owen provide music. Presented by Town Hall with A Contemporary Theatre; hosted and curated by Jean Sherrard.

GAMES AND OTHER DIVERTING AMUSEMENTS

Here  at  HILLSIDE’S GRAND JUBILEE  we  offer  such  amusing  diversions  as  the  following  games.

•       Musical chairs!

•       Rob   Your  Neighbor  (of   his  present!)—In  which  presents  brought  and  wrapped  are  placed  evenly  around  the  circle,   and  when  one  rolls  a  six  using  a  DICE,  one  may  either  take  or  steal  a  present  from  a  conniving  adversary.

•       Improvisational Games—In  which  our  host  Mr.  Riesco  leads  a  series  of  relevant  improvisational  dramatics.

•       Dancing—In  which the  youth  of  the  event  may  participate  in  a  DANCE  of  the  ever-changing  popular  music  of  the 20^th  century—from  THE CHARLESTON  to  THE TWIST.

•       And  one  last  enthralling,  superb,  incredible  EVENT—which  shall  remain  secret  until  the  end  of  the  evening!
